Some Notes on Tweeting for Public Libraries
I’ve been thinking a lot about public libraries/organizations and social media lately, especially on the differences between Twitter and Facebook. I wanted to jot down some notes about what I think works and what doesn’t, & figured I’d share them publicly so that folks can do anything from heartily disagreeing with them in the comments to potentially benefiting from them. I’ve had a personal Twitter account and followed libraries with it since fall of 2007, but have only recently started tweeting for a library system (about a month now). I still have a lot to learn, but I’ve also learned a lot. These notes take the form of advice, and it’s advice I stand behind, but I’m not claiming to be an expert (highly recommended, by the way: this Geek Girls Guide podcast episode on The Cult of Social Media, which covers, among other things, how often “social media expert”/guru/maven is invoked and why it is often a misapplied phrase).
With no further ado, some thoughts (gentle and otherwise) on tweeting for public libraries…
